Xiaoying Wang

I am an Assistant Professor of Strategic Management at Wilfrid Laurier University. I hold a Ph.D. in Management (Strategy & Global Management) from the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, and a Ph.D. in Economics from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. My research lies at the intersection of corporate strategy, corporate governance, and strategic leadership. I examine how institutional investors, CEOs, and boards shape major strategic decisions, including mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, and corporate energy transition strategies. I also study entrepreneurial career trajectories and the internationalization strategies of Chinese multinational enterprises.
